Re: Injury Report: Ravens v. Bengals (9/7/08)

While I'd rather have our normal starters, I'm not as concerned with our injuries...

Gregg is replaced by Bannan, who is frankly a beast and would start on many other teams.

Heap is replaced by Wilcox, who is not Todd Heap, but has some value in the passing game

Reed is replaced by Jim Leonhard, who has shown a penchant for making plays. Granted, he'll never be Ed Reed good, but him and Zbikowski AND Nakamura should be pretty good in replacing him

McGahee gives way to Rice...I think the preseason stats speak for themselves. I'm almost excited to see the kid get a chance to start.

The only good thing about the injuries last year was all the reps the backups got. The Ravens should be much better prepared for the injuries to these guys this season, but I think any real hope at a good record hinges on the health of our big 3 in the secondary. With a healthy Reed, C Mack and Rolle, there is no where to hide, no where to run and no where to throw.

I know better then this ....

I got burned last year by drafting Heap in one of my FFL's ... now he's doing it to me again! UGH!

I certainly hope he can start.

I think that come Sunday Reed, Cmac and Heap are gonna play. Gregg will be good for the next 15. I also think on Sunday we are gonna beat these over confident Bungles and show the world the the Ravens are hungry and pissed off at everyone saying we suck. FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!!!
